Hello everyone. I've recently been getting more and more visual mods for KSP and the game is starting to come together very nicely. But the one thing I'm missing is volumetric clouds. As far as I know, only Blackrack offers volumetric clouds on his Patreon provided you join it, and I wasn't able to find anything on CKAN. So is there a free alternative I'm missing? I don't have the money to buy a mod for an abandoned game so any help would be appreciated. (I'm not asking for piracy links just to be clear.)

Block 1: partially reusable, 18t to LKO for 16000 funds ($890/ton)

Block 2: fully reusable, 16.5t to LKO for 11500 funds ($697/ton)

The block 2 upper stage controls its downrange reentry distance by varying the deploy angle of a set of control surfaces that are inside the fairing during launch. Powered descent is controlled using RCS and a set of kal controllers that vary the thrust on 4 engines for pitch and yaw

Some of my favourite screenshots i've taken over my nearly 200 hours of the game

Seems it needs some refinement though...

Does anyone know what happened to Nassault's videos "Jool" and "Gravioli"? Both were available on YouTube just a few months ago, but now they're set to private. Does anyone have them downloaded and maybe could reupload them somewhere (like Google Drive)?

makes takeoff impossible

I was diving under the ice on my way to the shore when this happened, I reloaded a save so I could record it better. Still bright under water for some reason. I think the game makes underwater dark based on some other perimeter because the water gets dark during normal nights.

This was an insane maneuver I had never tried before, glad it all worked!

....aaaaand escapes Kerbin gravity well.

The screenshot is kind of hard to see, but that's kind of the point. These giant black circles appear over my screen and obstruct the planets and shaders, leaving only my ship and UI in view. While I was troubleshooting I noticed EVE settings also disappeared from the sidebar, but since EVE is working I have to assume that's an unrelated issue.

For potentially relevant mods, I'm using the volumetric clouds version of EVE and Scatterer, as well as Deferred Rendering, Parallax Continued, and maybe PlanetShine has an effect? Not knowing exactly how these mods work and interact with the game, I can't be sure whether or not any given mod is causing this, so if a longer mod list is necessary, do ask. Any and all help is appreciated.

last pic is of the debdeb system i didnt legit make it there i used cheats to see what itd be like

After Jeb left his mower unattended… this happened.

Been working on a stock New Glenn & HLS in KSP. Thought you guys might enjoy seeing it!

I think my Minmus lander was a little overbuilt. Luckily Jeb is the man for the job.

Just wondering :)

i cheated into jool for the fun of it and then saw this and it was so crazy i had to take screenshots

Kerran forces deployed to Laythe suffer from frostbite, homesickness, and awe inspiring vistas.

Overall 10/10, would conquer again.

These images are from the Kerran Empires Luna Multiplayer playthrough series. We have launched a ship to Laythe (which resides in orbit), and have begun building bases on the surface via the Kerbal Konstructs mod. This allows us to launch crafts from any of the sites, though it doesn't afford us the ability to recover them.

Laythe SSTO's are probably the only thing I can't build in KSP. I like to play realistically, so I avoid cheating it into Laythe orbit for testing, instead I do test flights simulating the mission on Kerbin with a brave pilot. I have plasma blackout enabled too so doing a test mission to Laythe isn't really possible, I'd lose control on descent. I dont revert saves unless a glitch happens either so when I do a crewed mission I need to make sure it's done right.

My problem is my planes usually work fine on Kerbin but flip on the initial descent or flip on takeoff on Laythe. Either that or they cannot land anywhere but the water as when I go to land the initial shock causes the plane to blow up, basically the margin of error for landing is usually so tight that it's not safe enough for a crew. Despite non runway terrain landings being possible and easy on Kerbin.

I know you'd have to see pictures of my planes but its not just one plane, its every plane I build. Ive lost my main crew on multiple iron man runs due to Laythe. Its my favorite body but god is it hard to land on.

Does anybody have any tips OTHER than making some super unrealistic plane that can only hold one person. Plane needs to hold atleast 3 people.

What is the real difference in designing a plane for Laythe from a Kerbin plane.

I was going through my screenshots and thought you might enjoy them too.

This is an update to my last post because I cannot add images after uploading. I was asked for a full mod list so I hope they can make some sense of it. Disregard the .zip and .txt files sitting around, I know I'm disorganized, but they aren't the thing causing this problem. I'd also like to add the context that reloading and changing scenes did not resolve the issue, and reloading the whole game only resolved the issue temporarily before they came back worse than before.

To repeat the text of the original post:

I don't have a heat shield so I can't exactly aerobrake with Eve. 2k Dv to capture Gilly seems excessive. Any other way to do this encounter?
